Naughty Words

    Being that I run forums, I have users and cant always control what they have to say.

    I have a word filter. My question is - what words do you think I should filter out as far as search engines are concerned. Do search engines really care about the occasional 'fuck' in a post? I notice this forum doesnt censor any of the naughty words.

    I had it on one of my forums...ended up shutting it off and letting it all fly. You censor a word and people just get creative in getting around the censor.

    Personally, I try and stay away from using certain words. I just tell people "I have something for you" and they get the point;)

    SOmethng else interesting...

    if I do a site:www.lincolnvscadillac.com with safesearch OFF I get 65000 pages --- If I have Safesearch ON I get only 12,000. I have naughty words filtered - so why such a huge difference????

    Also - what result does the coop use?
